📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans for easy removal.
2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients
Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl until evenly combined.
3️⃣ Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is silky smooth.
5️⃣ Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool Completely
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before frosting.
7️⃣ Frost & Assemble
Spread cream cheese frosting over the first cake layer, then stack the second layer on top.
Frost the entire cake (don’t forget the sides!) for a smooth, velvety finish.
